HELLO! announces winners of Young Photographers' Award

11 SEPTEMBER 2008The picture - which netted Jonathan a £5,000 prize, top-of-the-range camera equipment and a commission with HELLO - can be seen along with other category-winning images in a special round-up of the award on the website and in this week's magazine.

A panel of top photographers, including Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster Stewart, sifted through more than 1,000 entries which flooded in from all over the UK.

"It was both encouraging and inspiring to see such a high standard of photographic talent," said Penny. "It's wonderful the magazine recognises young talent in this way."
